The 3 Stooges (compare and contrast)


There has been some simmering debate in writer circles recently concerning the appreciation of one '3 Stooges'.

 emoticon

My position is that most men love the Stooges, and most women don't seem to get the blunt (as in a 2x4) humor of the Stooges and dislike them. However, a female said that's not true. However, however, unprompted by me, a male co-worker just explained to a female co-worker of Chinese decent that: "most men like the 3 Stooges, most women don't".

Hmmmm....

So the debate rages!

What do you believe?

And is this a world view? Or just a US view????

Where do you stand on this critical world issue??????

Re: The 3 Stooges (compare and contrast)


Okay, I'm a female and I grew up watching reruns of the stooges....and I LOVED them!! I like all types of humor, including the 3 stooges. If I remember correctly, my boyfriend doesn't like them. Nobody can say "all men like this" or "All women like that". It's too general. Everyone is different.

That's quite fantastic!

Good for you Lady R.!

I'm certainly not trying to exclude anyone for the joy of watching the 3 Stooges. The more the merrier!

But I'm sticking to my guns in general. Note: I didn't make an absolute statement like, 'All women hate the Stooges and ALL men like them.' Because for some reason I can't fathom some men don't like the Stooges. (??? !) I stated, 'most'.

The latest proof is that we recently had a Laugh n' Lunch at work, where someone brought in their 3 Stooges DVD set for watch while eating lunch in the conference room. The event invite was e-mailed to everyone in the company.

Final attendance score:

Men: 6
Women: 0

!!!

But, I'm sure you would have been there to help even things out Lady of Romance!

Any others?
